"the winner of this bout, and new HWA World Heavyweight Champion... Eddie K!!!"

Those dozen words have changed the landscape of the HWA in ways that few people can even comprehend... From the obvious things like the Circle of Champions, Contender rankings, and Pay Per View headlines, to less thought about things like the ramifications of a series of events slowly accumulating for the past six months that have now led to a completely altered reality, with heroes becoming villains, darkness triumphing over the light, and now the frowned upon victim finally gaining ultimate retribution and vindication over the favored wrong doer. The beaten down orphan, defeating the ever-so flashy family oriented "golden boy" of wrestling... yet a mere footnote on the page of this event is one of the greatest wrestlers of the modern era...

...That's you AC, looking back at tonight, you will not be remember, its all about Eddie winning the strap, and me losing it... that has to eat you up from the inside out. You don't think that Eddie being taken out and eliminated by Deas was a little too easy? Ed took Deas out in 7 seconds once, I doubt he was truly over matched, only to defeat both of us later in the night... Eddie simply didnt care about your partnership enough to waste his shot at the World Title... So now AC, you're left on the outside looking in across the board. No World title, and now no Tag Team title, you've lost your spot in the COC just as I have, and you'll simply laugh it off as being in because you and Eddie "are really bros" unlike what Ed and myself had... right?

It's alright though... really, it is. I was consumed by the monster that is the World Championship of the HWA... a championship that is notorious for turning it's holder into a complacent, uninvolved, and short termed waste of space... granted, my lack of participation was due more to the fact that I felt that the recent events in the HWA did not warrant a response or reply, but at the same time, when you stay quiet too long, you start to not care... isn't that right Butch?

...but you see, unlike everyone else in this company, I'll rebound properly and use this experience as a learning tool. The burden of my first HWA Title reign has been lifted, and when I do once again scale the mountain and claim the prize as mine once more; I'll prove to be better apt to run with the banner; but until then, You will see the same "Reflection of Perfection" that blazed a trail in the HWA for the past two years... my focus is set on ONE thing, and one thing only... RING MASTER.
